After inputting the schedule addition command, the control unit 180 detects whether a place of a schedule to be added is selected in the map (S220). For example, when the display area is displayed on the touch screen, the controller 180 detects that the place of the schedule to be added is selected when the user touches a predetermined area of the map.

The control unit 180 displays a flag in an area of the map corresponding to the selected schedule place (S225).

After displaying the flag, the control unit 180 displays a schedule information input window for inputting the schedule related information corresponding to the flagged schedule place in the display area (S230).

The user can input schedule related information corresponding to the selected schedule place or flag in the schedule information input window. When the control unit 180 detects the input of the schedule related information (S235), the control unit 180 stores the schedule item including the schedule place and the corresponding schedule related information in the schedule list (S240). The control unit 180 displays a route to which the schedule place added to the map displayed in the display area or the added schedule place is connected.

FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing an embodiment of a method of displaying a route on a map in which a schedule location is displayed according to the present invention.

When at least two schedule locations are selected in the map, a route connecting the schedule locations with the schedule times can be displayed on the map. The path can be automatically displayed when the schedule location and the schedule time are input, or can be set to be displayed when the user inputs a path display command.

The route connecting the schedule places may be a shortest route between the schedule places, an optimal route considering traffic information, or a route set by the user so as to pass through a predetermined area of the map. When the path display command is input, the controller 180 can automatically display the shortest path or the optimal path according to the set path display command. As another example, the user can select what kind of path to display when entering the path display command. The flowchart of FIG. 7 is a flowchart of a path display method by which a user can select what kind of path to display.

The control unit 180 displays a map in which a flag is displayed in an area corresponding to the schedule place, in the display area (S310). The control unit 180 determines whether a path display command is input (S315). If the path is automatically set to be displayed, the control unit 180 displays a path connecting the flag and the flag while displaying the map

The control unit 180 detects whether the user inputs a shortest path display command (S320). If the shortest route display command is input, the control unit 180 displays the shortest route connecting the flagged schedule places corresponding to the schedule time order (S325).

Meanwhile, the controller 180 detects whether the user inputs an optimal route display command (S330). If the optimal path display command is input, the controller 180 senses traffic information (S335).

The control unit 180 displays an optimal route connecting the flagged place in consideration of the sensed traffic information (S340). For example, when information indicating that traffic is stalled in one section of the shortest path is detected, the controller 180 displays an optimal path that can bypass the congestion section. In another example, when the shortest path is a path that travels using a subway, or a fire occurs in the subway, the controller 180 indicates an optimal path that does not use the subway.

On the other hand, the control unit 180 displays the path according to the setting by the user (S345). For example, a user may travel through a predetermined area of the map to burn or unload another person while moving between scheduled locations using the car. In this case, the control unit 180 sets and displays a route passing through a predetermined area of the map designated by the user.
